I noticed a slight error in my directions. If you've done the butter tubs, you'll turn right to Hawes, not left. But I'm sure you get the drift.

Best sections are Middleton to Brough and the road between Weardale and Teesdale. Usually quiet, fast, rarely police, and lots of fun.

Hartside summit is ace and best done from penrith towards Alston. Nice alpine style switchbacks I find my satnav is an excellent co-driver if you don't know the way.
